[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]And if that takes another six months?[/quote]

If it takes another six months then I suggest that you vote for Biden due to Trump's inability to manage the epidemic better because it should not take another six months.

I don't know what you want me to say. I think I have explained this very clearly. I do not think we can safely reopen the economy now.[b] I think the loudest voices to reopen are not the ones who will be taking the risks and that they are putting their financial interests ahead of the health of others[/b]. I am arguing that the health risks of reopening be decreased to the point that those calling for reopening are comfortable accepting that risk for themselves and their families. I don't think that is an unreasonable position or one that is hard to understand.

Jeff I have not responded to this assertion because I don't think it matters, I would hope that most of us would be able to put aside how the shutdown personally affects us with how it affects society at large.  But since you seem to think that those of us who are in favor of reopening would not be taking "risks" and putting their financial interests first I will respond.  I am a teacher (check all my previous posts if you don't believe me) and my husband is a fed.  My personal financial situation isn't at all being impacted by this (yet - eventually we will all be affected) And yes, if things reopened I would have to return to work, which in your mind would be risking my health.  On a personal level, I am loving the shutdown.  My husband likes working from home, and to be completely honest I am in no hurry to head back to school.  Yet I am very much in favor of things reopening asap, because I don't want to see society destroyed simply so my husband and I can keep working from home.  [/quote]
